　　 3. Place the coated lamb leg in a wok of oil heated to 80% hot and deep-fry until thoroughly cooked. Remove and drain the oil.

　　 4. Remove the bones from the fried lamb leg, place them at the bottom of a plate, slice the meat into large pieces, arrange on the plate, and sprinkle with cumin powder to finish.
